Sir Ernest Glover, 1st Baronet

Sir Ernest William Glover, 1st Baronet (27 August 1864 – 21 January 1934) was an English shipowner and public servant.

Sir Ernest Glover

Glover was born in Lenton Green, County Durham, to Septimus Jonathan Glover and his wife Elizabeth Ann, the daughter of Edwin Briggs of South Shields, Durham. He was educated in Germany and at University College School, London and became a partner in the family firm, Glover Brothers, a London shipowners (Shakespear Shipping Company) and ship and insurance brokers.

He married Helen Harrower Reynoldson, daughter of J. P. Reynoldson of South Shields, in South Shields in 1889.

During the First World War he joined the Ministry of Shipping as Director of the Ship Management Branch. For this service he was knighted in 1918[1] and was created a baronet of Arkley in the parish of Barnet in the County of Hertford in the 1920 Birthday Honours.[2][3]

He was active in the Chamber of Shipping (serving as its president in 1923) and was chairman of the Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange from 1924 to 1928.

He was also created Officier de l'Ordre de la Couronne, Belgium and Knight of the First Class of the Order of St Olav, Norway.

Glover and his wife had no children, and so the baronetcy became extinct upon his death.

gollark: I've made a v1.7 which drops the fudging behavior *but* still might be inaccurate. You may need to uninstall any previous versions, I'm not entirely sure.IMPORTANT NOTES: always manually check the time of death after using it - it should only take a minute or so to do that since it tells you roughly when it is (should be accurate to within 15 seconds at least); it may be against the rules (*hopefully* not? They're very vague); only tested in Firefox, might work in Chrome.
gollark: It never came up much in testing since my computer's clock is probably more accurate than the average Windows-y configuration.
gollark: There *might* be a way to get it to be synced to some other time source, I'll have to see.
gollark: That was always the intended design.
